The new dining room table was delivered on Friday (a few days late thanks to the biggest blizzard our little corner of the south had seen since 1988). I had no immediate plans to be on the hunt for anything else in that room save for host chairs, but a day scouting out some of my favorite bargain shops turned up some deals too good to pass up.
The glasses came first, a clean lined design from Waterford. ($30 for a set of 8 versus the $200 they retailed for.) Simple white bone china dishes were next, the salad bowls and bread plates rimmed in silver. Silver chargers, a Hobby Lobby
steal at only a dollar apiece, anchor the place settings very nicely.
The guest napkins, a bold black and white pattern from Badgely Mischka, were another great deal, but there were only four of them available. To solve that problem, crisp white linen napkins monogrammed in black with a wonderful ribbon detail for the heads of the table. All the napkins are ringed with an elegant and simple design in silver.
The final touch, a set of gorgeous crystal candlesticks--a clean lined transitional style that are perfectly scaled for the table, with silver taper candles.

ReplyDeleteMaris because we use it so rarely we've tried to find steals on everything in there! Thanks for stopping by
ReplyDeleteJust $30 for a set of 8 Waterford glasses??!??! I am so impressed!!! You did great! I still don't know how you guys find all these great things at the thrift stores. I can never find anything decent. I am just about ready to give up trying! Love the soothing colors. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteElegant table for sure! I especially like the white napkins with the black details. Congratulations on the great buys! 8 Waterford pieces for $30 ~ wow!

Beautiful - I love the black and white too! You put it together so well. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteBlack and white has always been a favorite. Love that your photography is black and white, too! Very creative and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty amazing what can be found when the table doesn't arrive on time! Those chargers are always 1.89 at our Hobby Lobby...Hobby Lobby is headquartered here. I think that you got a really good deal. They never seem to go on sale here. Lovely tablescape; the napkin patterns are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
